TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
(TPMS) (ifequipped)
GUID-F 58BF3DF-6 647-4E90-9 8C6-3B8E77 13B953
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS) monitors
tire pressure ofall tires except thespare. Whenthelow
tire pressure warninglightislit, one ormore ofyour
tires issignificantly under-inflated.
The TPMS willactivate onlywhen thevehicle isdriven
at speeds above25km/h (16MPH) .Also, thissystem
may notdetect asudden dropintire pressure (for
example aflat tire while driving) .
For more details abouttheTPMS, seeªTire Pressure
Monitoring System(TPMS)º (P.6-2) ,ªTire Pressure
Monitoring System(TPMS)º (P.5-4) andªTire Pressure
Monitoring System(TPMS)º (P.8-36) .
For additional information, seeªLow tirepressure
warning lightº(P.2-14) .
TIRE INFLA TION PRESSURE
T32A130 827-90622 EBC-3A8D-41F6-8B20-6 699CA22E4EE
Periodically checkthepressure ofthe tires, including
the spare. Anincorrect tirepressure mayadversely
affect tirelifeand vehicle handling. Thetirepressure
should bechecked whentiresareCOLD. Tiresare
considered COLDafterthevehicle hasbeen parked
for 3or more hours, ordriven lessthan 1.6km(1mile) .
COLD tirepressures areshown onthe tire placard.
Insufficient pressurecanlead toan overheating ofthe
tire and subsequent internaldamage. Athigh speeds,
this could resultintread separation andeven bursting
of the tire.
TYPES OFTIRES
T32A1308 27-F4ADFA12-B902-4BB7-BDEB -65DF9756DE64
CAUTION:
When changing orreplacing tires,besure all
four tires areofthe same type(that is,summer,
all season orsnow) andconstruction. ANISSAN
dealer maybeable tohelp youwith information
about tiretype, size,speed ratingandavail-
ability.
Replacement tiresmayhave alower speed ratingthan
the factory equipped tires,andthey maynotmatch the
potential maximum vehiclespeed.Neverexceed the
maximum speedratingofthe tire.
All season tires
T32A130827- E671C002-8738-4216-AE C8-6CD14C8720FA
NISSAN specifies allseason tiresonsome models to
provide goodperformance allyear, including snowy
and icyroad conditions. Allseason tiresareidentified
by ALL SEASON and/orM&Sonthe tiresidewall.
Snow tireshave better snowtraction thanallseason
tires andmay bemore appropriate insome areas.
Summer tires
T32A130 827-7935F4 FA-4F3E-416 C-8CF7-BB4 329FCC988
NISSAN specifies summertiresonsome models to
provide superior performance ondry roads. Summer
tire performance issubstantially reducedinsnow and
ice. Summer tiresdonot have thetiretraction rating
M&S onthe tire sidewall.
If you plan tooperate yourvehicle insnowy oricy
conditions, NISSANrecommends theuse ofsnow or
all season tiresonallfour wheels.
Snow tires
T32A130827- D491D99F-25 20-4F05-BD0B-08E3B4DC F929
If snow tiresareneeded, itis necessary toselect tires
equivalent insize andload rating tothe original
equipment tires.Ifyou donot, itcan adversely affect
the safety andhandling ofyour vehicle.
Generally ,snow tireshave lower speed ratings than
factory equipped tiresandmay notmatch thepotential
maximum vehiclespeed.Neverexceed themaximum
speed ratingofthe tire. Ifyou install snowtires,they
must bethe same size,brand, construction andtread
pattern onallfour wheels.
For additional tractiononicy roads, studded tiresmay
be used. However, somestates andprovinces prohibit
their use.Check local,stateandprovincial lawsbefore
installing studdedtires.Skidandtraction capabilities
of studded snowtiresonwet ordry surfaces maybe
poorer thanthatofnon-studded snowtires.
TIRE CHAINS
T32A1308 27-00A7D296-B49D-4E 98-B78C-D04C1A0CDB83
Use oftire chains maybeprohibited accordingto
location. Checkthelocal lawsbefore installing tire
chains. Wheninstalling tirechains, makesurethatthey
are ofproper sizeforthe tires onyour vehicle andare
installed according tothe chain manufacturer's in-
structions.
Use chain tensioners whenrecommended bythe tire
chain manufacturer toensure atight fit.Loose endlinks
of the tire chains mustbesecured orremoved to
prevent thepossibility ofwhipping actiondamage to
the fenders orunderbody .If possible, avoidfully
loading yourvehicle whenusing tirechains. Inaddition,
drive atareduced speed.Otherwise, yourvehicle may
be damaged and/orvehicle handling andperformance
may beadversely affected.

Tire chains mustbeinstalled onlyonthe front
wheels andnotonthe rear wheels. Donot use
the chains ondry roads.
Never installtirechains onaTemporary-use sparetire

Do not drive withtirechains onpaved roadswhich are
clear ofsnow .Driving withchains insuch conditions
can cause damage tothe various mechanisms ofthe

TIRE ROTA TION
T32A130 827-CDFA213B-EF61-4DDD-81 D2-93796 0565405
SDI1662
NISSAN recommends thattires berotated every5,000
km (3,000 miles)forFour-Wheel Drive(4WD) orevery
10,000 km(6,000 miles)forTwo-Wheel Drive(2WD)
model. However, thetiming fortire rotation mayvary
according toyour driving habitsandtheroad surface
conditions. (SeeªFlattireº(P.6-2) forthe tirereplace-
ment.)
WARNING:
. After rotating thetires, adjust thetire
pressure.
. Retighten thewheel nutswhen thevehicle
has been driven for1,000 km(600 miles) (also
incases ofaflat tire, etc.).
. Donot include thespare tireintire rotation.
. Incorrect tireselection, fitting,care,or
maintenance canaffect vehicle safetywith
risk ofaccident andinjury. Ifin doubt,
consult aNISSAN dealerorthe tire manu-
facturer.
For models equipped withTirePressure
Monitoring System(TPMS)

CHANGING TIRESANDWHEELS
T32A1308 27-485EBE 39-EDC3-4100-8516 -A085FFEF9 153
WARNING:
Do not install adeformed wheelortire even ifit
has been repaired. Suchwheels ortires could
have structural damageandcould failwithout
warning.
When replacing atire, usethesame size,speed rating
and load carrying capacity asoriginally equipped. (See
ªTires andwheelsº (P.9-7) forrecommended typesand
sizes oftires andwheels.) Theuseoftires other than
those recommended orthe mixed useoftires of
different brands,construction (bias,bias-belted, or
radial) ,or tread patterns canadversely affecttheride,
braking, handling, groundclearance, body-to-tire
clearance, snowchainclearance, TirePressure Mon-
itoring System (TPMS),speedometer calibration,
headlight aimand bumper height.Someofthese
effects maylead toaccidents andcould resultin
serious personal injury.
If the wheels arechanged forany reason, always
replace withwheels whichhavethesame offset
dimension. Wheelsofadifferent offsetcouldcause
early tirewear, possibly degraded vehiclehandling
characteristics and/orinterference withthebrake

Confirm thefollowing forthe TPMS (ifequipped) .
WARNING:
. After atire orawheel isreplaced, theTPMS
must bereset. (SeeªTirePressure Monitor-

Observe thefollowing precautions ifthe spare tire
must beused, otherwise yourvehicle couldbe
damaged orinvolved inan accident.
When aspare tireismounted, theTire Pressure
Monitoring System(TPMS) (ifequipped) willnot
function.
CAUTION:
. The spare tireshould beused onlyfor
emergency. Itshould bereplaced bythe
standard tireatthe first opportunity.
. Drive carefully whilethespare tireisin-
stalled.
. Avoid sharpturnsandabrupt braking while
driving.

. Donot drive yourvehicle atspeeds faster
than 80km/h (50MPH) .
. Donot use tirechains onaspare tire.Tire
chains willnotfitproperly onthe spare tire
and may cause damage tothe vehicle.
. Because thespare tireissmaller thanthe
original tire,ground clearance isreduced. To
avoid damage tothe vehicle donot drive
over obstacles. Alsodonot drive thevehicle
through anautomatic carwash sinceitmay
get caught.
. Donot use thespare tireonother vehicles.
. Donot use more thanonespare tireatthe
